"Despite the recent firings of head coach Steve Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard still wants to be traded, according to report from SheridanHoops.com. Howard, who had disagreements with both Van Gundy and Smith, exercised his player option for the 2012-13 season just before the NBA's trade deadline on March 15, but has not committed to signing a long-term contract extension with Orlando."
